Eye movement monitoring (or eye tracking) reveals where in space the eyes linger, when and for how long. Here, we demonstrate how eye tracking can be used to investigate the integrity of memory in multiple participant populations, without requiring verbal, or otherwise explicit, reports.

This manuscript describes the method to test the concurrent validity of kinematic measures recorded by the smartphone application in comparison to a 3D motion capture system in the sagittal plane. This protocol will enable clinicians to set up smartphones for video capture of human movement.
FAQs
These methods compare sequential brain images or motion recordings and calculate how brain position or structure changes over time. Image registration supports comparison between image sets, while computational tracking follows changes across the sequence. The resulting displacement measurements can be organized into quantitative motion patterns, allowing investigators to examine shifts, rotations, and deformations rather than relying only on visual impressions.
Apparent movement may reflect either true biological change or an artifact introduced during imaging. Separating these sources prevents technical distortion from being interpreted as brain motion. This distinction improves the reliability of neuroscientific experiments, particularly when researchers use motion measurements to evaluate anatomy, tissue dynamics, or relationships between mechanical changes and brain function.
Shifts describe changes in position, rotations describe changes in orientation, and deformations describe changes in shape or structure over time. Considering these components together provides information about neural anatomy and biomechanics. Their combined patterns can help researchers characterize tissue dynamics and examine how mechanical changes relate to brain function or injury.
A typical workflow begins with sequential brain images or motion recordings. Researchers compare the measurements over time, apply image registration or computational tracking, and estimate displacement. They then generate quantitative motion patterns and interpret them in relation to neural anatomy, biomechanics, data quality, tissue dynamics, or other neuroscientific questions supported by the experiment.
One important use is correcting head motion during neuroimaging. Motion measurements help identify how the head or brain shifted across image acquisition, so researchers can account for that movement when evaluating the resulting data. This application supports more reliable experiments by reducing the influence of motion-related imaging artifacts on neuroscientific analysis.
The measurements provide quantitative motion patterns that researchers can examine alongside brain structure and behavior. In neuroscience, this supports studies of tissue dynamics and the relationship between mechanical changes and brain function or injury. The approach therefore extends beyond data correction, helping investigators interpret how movement-related features may relate to biological and behavioral observations.
